what a waste of money and time. Wlad is a fuken joke of a heavyweight champion. He'd be nothing in the 90's. I was at a sports bar in pismo beach, ca this weekend and they had espn on and the fight came on. Shit turned people away from it. People were yelling "change the station this fight sucks" shit was boring as hell and i was embarrassed to be a boxing fan yesterday. We need haye and arreola to somewhat bring this division back to where at least people want to see it.
Do you think Arreola can beat Vlad? I believe he would put up a better fight than what Chagaev did. So would David Haye for that matter. I just think Arreola poses the bigger risk, because he is more tested at Heavy than Haye is.
I in no way shape or form think that either Arreola or Haye is more skilled then either of the Klitty's that being said I rather watch Arreola & Haye fight then eother of the brothers fight. Vitali gave me one entertaining fight against Lennox but other then that most of his fights are boring too. Atleast he goes for broke sometimes. Wlad on the other hand it is like watching some one train or spar just boring, I have had more fun cutting my toe nails....Lefty

People say that Lewis had some lame fights, and that may be true up to a certain extent. But that was only with guys like Tua who had a good chin and couldn't get inside on him. Lewis also punched in combos, and knew how to throw the uppercut. Which something Vlad is allergic to. Lewis only had lame fights on certain occasions. His fights with Mercer, Vitali, Holyfield, Botha, and Rahman were action packed. His destruction of Tyson was methodical up to a certain extent, but it was still exciting. With Vlad it's one lame performance right after another.
Your absolutley true now be careful they might say you're not a diehard fan because of your opinion. Wlad is fuken garbage! He benefits from a garbage division full of out of shape fuks! There wasn't nothing impressive about his last fight. The opponent was no monster or even a good fighter. Chagaev just fuken lost to hollyfield for crying out load. What's worse is wlad couldn't even finish chagaev, his corner had to stop the fight! What a joke! Wlad is so scared shitless of getting hit its not even funny! Boxing is bobbing and weaving, counters, sick combinations, not throw 10 jabs with ur other hand covering your face in fear of getting hit. Jab jab jab right, jab jab right jab jab right. Its fuken garbage! Wlad wouldn't beat anyone in the 90's! There's nothing to appreciate about wlads style anyone saying that bs is nothing but a uk fan.
I watched the fight and was so bored I nodded off to sleep. The heavies are pretty uninteresting right now. At least Haye talks enough shit to make it seem like a fight might be exciting.

yes a die hard boxing fan if you knew anything about me you wouldn't disagree and i will tell you again this fuken fight was boring. If me not liking this fight makes me a non-fan then call me a non fan but i will say it again this fight and every wlad fight i've ever seen have been completely trash! Nothing more exciting then watching a giant with a superman shape, scared shit of getting hit, and jab his way to a boring decision...yay how exciting im a die hard fan because i love boring wlad fights. Get the fuk out of here.
noun 1. a person who vigorously maintains or defends a seemingly hopeless position, outdated attitude, lost cause, or the like.
–adjective 2. resisting vigorously and stubbornly to the last; stubborn.
You fit neither of those descriptions. I dont doubt your a fan for one second, but you're not die hard. Like I said there were things to be admired about this fight if you were as you say die hard. I may believe your a nonstop action fan, but boxing is not about non stop action as many believe. The fact you actually had the nerve to say you were ashamed to be a boxing fan proves my point tenfold. And why does everyone keep talking about how a bunch of non boxing fans didnt enjoy it? I watch boxing for my pleasure and **** what anyone else thinks.
Arreola is a fat punching bag who hasn't beaten anybody with a pulse
The Klitschko Brothers RULE boxing, they're the 2 best boxers in the world and would destroy any boxer on the planet.
unlike wlad arreola actually catches people's attention. Arreola actually gets people excited. David Haye gets people talking about the division, he brings excitement. Wlad bring's nothing! He makes people change the channel. Doesn't matter how good you think he is, he does nothing for this sport. At least not in america.
shame on erybody in this thread that agrees wlad and this fight are fuken boring as hell and do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for the hw division! We are all fake fans! We should support these fights that accomplish turning people away from boxing more than anything. Funny you guys praise wlads oponnent in hopes of defending him! Chagaev is trash! The whole division is fuken trash! This used to be the glory division of boxing, it's now the most boring un-watched division in the sport! Chagaev's biggest win is a fuken split decision over ruiz. he has a majority decision over a slow ass giant valuev, the same valuev an old 47 year old hollyfield whooped on! and now you guys want to make chagaev sound like a beast! :rofl: sorry we all cant be real fans like you and sit down and jump up and down for every jab klitscho lands on his midget opponent.

until somebody with a pulse arises
Thats exactly what happened at my house yesterday too. I had a party for my brothers birthday and invited 15 people and by the 5th round everyone either left the room or were texting and not paying attention.
That fight was brutally boring.
shame on you you're not a really boxing fan for saying that!
I understand its not for everyone and it can be boring at parts, but this man said he is a Die Hard Boxing Fan so if he actually was he would appreciate those things. Im just making him be honest if he didnt like it I understand, but hes not a die hard boxing fan.

LMAO. Don't tell me you're really a boxing fan.
Threads like this help sort out the real boxing fans from those who simply like action. Real fans appreciate the precision and discipline of Wladimir Klitschko.
To Chagaev's credit, he did take some massive shots.
To his fault, he certainly didn't help make the fight once he got hit.
He got gun shy and frustrated.
That certainly isn't Klitschko's fault.
I just don't think Chagaev (or anybody else for that matter) has the tools to bother Wlad. Chagaev did have some success to the body late in the fight but it was just too little too late. It must have been frustrating for him after winning against Valuev and then facing another giant and not winning a single minute of the fight.
I don't get it either. He beat the shit out of a champ.
I guess it was too methodical for people's tastes but as someone else pointed out, Lennox Lewis had fights just like this, where he waited for his chance to explode and was somewhat cautious. And he too caught a lot of flak for it in his time.
So did Ali and a lot of other greats. But Wlad didn't last night! He punished Chagaev with several full-blooded right hands and it's only a tribute to Chagaev's chin that he didn't get hurt and only took one flash KD. It was not like Wlad was dragging it out.
It's kind of like some saying they like auto racing but get disappointed when they don't see massive crashes.
To each is own. I know Concrete likes other fighters and follows the sport.
I don't get it jreck. The fight yesterday was a legit heavyweight championship fight. A fight for the biggest title in sports. That alone should get any fan on the edge of the seat. When you then are able to watch a flawless performance from Wlad outclassing a genuine proven contender I really don't know what to say to the TS.
I understand its not for everyone and it can be boring at parts, but this man said he is a Die Hard Boxing Fan so if he actually was he would appreciate those things. Im just making him be honest if he didnt like it I understand, but hes not a die hard boxing fan.
Die hard boxing fan! Rofl. It must have been for the last couple of months only.
What is the fundemental reason people watch sports? For entertainment. If people wanted to admire the technique of a perfect jab, thrown over and over and over and over again, then Kiltscho would be one of the most popular boxers in the sport. The fact is, the guy is completely boring, his fights are sh*t and all he really does is use his 78 inch reach to keep the smaller pudgy guy away from him. Theres no excitement, and no entertainment except for the exceptionally hardcore boxing fan.

But you couldn't appreciate a fighter completely dominate an undefeated World Champion? Probably didnt notice how the man with one of the best ever heavyweight physiques throws a perfect jab that is fast and powerful and rivals any in the history of the sport.
